Referendum. Vote to unincorporate. Gas service transfers to Pensacola Energy with greater capabilities to manage, maintain, and bill the system properly. Water rolls over to ECUA or Central Water. Done. Yet another reason this incorporated municipality needs to unincorporate. Referendum. Vote to unincorporate.

Century is an embarrassment when others arrive in Florida for the first time. Hec I have to go through there several times a week and hate looking at how people don't care Well said Lewis T and while they are cleaning up the mess at city Hall someone needs to address the junkyards that seem to grow in the residents yards along the highway.

Investigate all complaints and also survey along the gas distribution lines. Pack the odoriser at the gate station with captan and increase the injection rate and wait for calls from around the area.

The town produces nothing. It's the peoples assets being wasted. A new meter will be purchased for $1000k but no comment on the cost of installation or training. If the gas department can't account for 58% of the methane gas purchased how will the new meter solve the problem unless someone knows something! By the way how long has this 58% imbalance been going on? . The counsel must STOP everything and conduct an investigation of this mess. There are local gas measurement experts that would likely help for little or no cost. People that understand the difference between an orifice meter and a turbine meter and how they both work . NOT THE ACCOUNT AND NOT THE MAYOR OR COUNSEL MEMBERS The level of INCOMPETENCY represented by the Century town governing body rivals the Federal Government. The town produces nothing.

Yes the County knows And yes how the Gateway looks through here has been addressed many times. The Welcome to Florida area the tourists stop and take pictures is over grown and the County is responsible for the code enforcement through Century.. yes the place gets an audit every year and yes the state agencies have been informed.

Don't you have supervisors over that department that get paid to make those decisions? I can remember just a few years ago Century spent all kinds of money on a fly by night water meter system, why because some salesman made it sound like a good idea. Then after not even a year they failed and guess what? The then administration let the same company talk them in to an upgrade and they fell for it again. Fast forward a few years and Century is back to reading meters the old way because the system failed again. Throwing money into purchasing new gas meters may be what needs to happen, but first how about getting someone to verify the billing is correct, because from my experience with the billings I receive from there they are all over the place. Second, verify that all of your commercial meters are calibrated correctly, and third install the gate station meter that I have no idea why you wouldn't have one there already. Trusting someone to bill you correctly nowadays is insane. Why on earth would you allow an accountant to tell you what to do with your operations.
